Condition
Gynecological Disturbances
Commentary
Chinese Medicine has been successfully treating gynecological & obstetric complaints for close to 3000 years. It does so by determining the underlining pattern that is causing the dysfunction. This pattern is the root cause of the disease in the body. The branches of the root cause are synonymous with the symptoms. This is the fundamental difference between Eastern and Western medicine. Eastern medicine treats the underlining cause of the dysfunction in the body. The goal is to remove the roots of the dysfunction thus removing the symptoms. In many cases Western medicine’s treatment strategy is to decrease the intensity of the symptoms while completely ignoring the underlying cause. The root cause of irregular menstruation or infertility, or any other gynecological condition, needs to be assessed on an individual basis. Through the use of acupuncture and Chinese herbs, each woman has the potential to restore her balance and reproductive wellness.
Some of the many conditions treated by Chinese Medicine in women’s health are:
-Amenorrhea (absent periods)
-Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
-Long periods
-Heavy periods
-Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
– Perimenopause & Menopausal symptoms
-Thyroid conditions
-Endometriosis
-Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
-Fibroids
– Chronic yeast infections
-Urinary Tract infections (UTI)
